Early morning, Elina Clark was waiting at the entrance of the Assessment Center. When she received the identification report, her heart pounded so fast she found it difficult to breathe.
She sat in a chair in the corridor, calming herself for a while before opening the identification report.
Elina directly looked at the result. Her pupils shivered violently for a moment, and then she quickly opened the other one.
The results on both were the same.
Both confirmed blood relations between the two sides.
Looking at the two identification results, Elinaâs lips started to tremble bit by bit.
She was breathing heavily, constantly calming herself, but in the end she still lifted her hand to cover her eyes.
Her straight back also bent down, with her shoulders slightly trembling.
Elina sat in the chair in the corridor until noon without leaving.
She was in a hurry when she left in the morning, and she didnât take her cell phone.
Natalie Wayne kept making phone calls to the driver.
The driver indeed informed Natalie about the specific location of the hospital.
When Natalie found it, Elina was still sitting in the chair, as if she hadnât moved.
âBrother Louis?â
Upon hearing Natalieâs voice, Elina came back to her senses. She looked up at Natalie and said with a hoarse voice, âLily, why did you come?â
âBrother Louis? What happened?â Natalie Wayne asked, full of concern.
âNothing, itâs nothing.â Elina held her hand, feeling how cold it was. She put the two reports aside and covered Natalieâs hands with hers.
Only⦠His hands were also not very warm.
âIâm fine, why didnât you go home?â Natalie asked, âWhat is this?â
Natalie pulled her hand out to pick up the two reports: âDNA Identification?â
She opened the two reports. First she saw the names of Charles Amos and Elina, then she looked at the results.
After reading the results, she frowned and hurriedly looked at the other one, which was hers and Charles Amosâs.
The result was the same.
Natalie stared at the two results for a moment, then asked, âIs Charles⦠really Arthur Northâs child?â
Elina put the reports aside again, holding Natalieâs hand, and said, âLily⦠The day before yesterday⦠I thought Charlesâs handwriting looked somewhat like Edward Northâs.â
Natalieâs pupils shuddered for a moment.
âI showed Charles the Little Brotherâs handwriting, and then⦠Charles went to get a letter written by his father. The handwriting on the letter was the same as Little Brotherâs.â
Natalie suddenly held Elinaâs hand tightly, her eyes wide open in disbelief as she looked at him.
âBut⦠The photo of Charlesâs father that Charles showed me⦠Itâs not Edward North.â Elina spoke slowly, âI was confused, so I came to do the identification. According to this identification result⦠Charles is our biological grandson. If this child has no relation with Theo Clark and Arthur Northâ¦â
Natalieâs eyes reddened instantly, she looked at Elina for a while and then said, âBut, but Edward North, Edward North was sacrificed on the border. Charles, Charles is already so grown upâ¦â
âThe body was not found in the snowy mountain, is there any possibilityâ¦â
âButâ¦you said the photo of Charlesâs father is not Edward North.â
This was also something Elina had always been puzzled about.
âCall Arthur North and ask him to come back.â Natalie grabbed Elinaâs hand, tears streaming down her face, âLet Arthur return and ask Arthur. Have Daisy also return, Lucia must know something, she must know something.â
âLet Arthur come back first.â Elina patted her hand and said, âLetâs ask Arthur first.â
âUh-huh.â
At Clark Manor, after having lunch, Charles Amos went to the Court Music Academy.
But Elina and Natalie didnât have lunch after they got back. They were waiting for Arthur Northâs return.
Not only Arthur North but also Theo Clark was called over.
And because Elina seemed quite anxious when she called, Theo Clarkâs whole family thought something had happened. The four of them dropped whatever they were doing and returned.
Upon entering the front hall, they saw Natalieâs eyes were a bit red, as if she had just been crying, and Elina also did not look very well.
Arthurâs heart skipped a beat: âWhat happened?â
Theo Clarkâs family were also taken aback, following closely behind. Calvin Stewart and Hardy Clark immediately sat next to Natalie Wayne and Elina Clark: âWhat happened?â
Elina Clark lifted her chin towards the identification report on the tea table.
Kevin Clark looked at the identification report, furrowed his brow, then bent over to pick up the top one.
It was between Charles Amos and Elina Clark.
After reading it, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Elina Clark, then handed the report to his big brother.
Theo Clark and Hugo Clark also looked at Elina Clark after reading it.
The three of them looked at Elina Clark, no one spoke.
Are all the people related to him by blood here now?
Charles Amos has no relation to them, then⦠how does this over eighty percent match come about?
If Charles Amos is related to Elina Clark by blood, then Charles Amosâ father or mother is related to Elina Clark.
So⦠Kevin Clark felt his head go numb for a moment.
Could his dad have cheated on his mom?!
Absolutely impossible.
Thereâs such a big age difference between the two, then itâs⦠before his dad knew his momâ¦
And Charles Amos is a member of our family?
Kevin Clark thought so, and so did Theo Clark and Hugo Clark.
From the look on their faces, Elina Clark knew what the three of them were thinking and said irritably, âWhat are you thinking! Thereâs another report!â
He had them do another one with Charles Amos and Natalie Wayne, because he was afraid they would think this way.
Each and every one of them were rebels!
When they finished reading the other one, Theo Clark suddenly said, âYou and mom have another child, so we are four brothers?â
Kevin Clarkâs eyelashes trembled slightly.
Itâs not Harris Kirsten, so it must be Jack Amos who is his family.
Natalie Wayne and Elina Clark both glared at them.
Everyone was a little stunned, waiting for the two of them to speak.
Elina Clark paused and said, âThe handwriting of Charles Amosâs father is the same as Edward Northâs.â
Kevin Clarkâs clenched his hand at his side immediately.
Hugo Clark furrowed his brow.
Theo Clark blurted out, âWhat?!â
Calvin Stewart and Hardy Clark were also dumbfounded.
âBut the father in the photo that Charles Amos has, itâs not Edward North.â Elina Clark looked at Kevin Clark and said, âAre you sure Charles Amos isnât your child? I mean, your biological son.â
Kevin Clark was at a loss for words.
Charles Amos was a child Harris Kirsten and Jack Amos had, from pregnancy to birth to growth, all under the watchful eyes of the little girl.
Charles Amos was the child of Harris Kirsten and Jack Amos, thereâs no mistake about that.
So, Charles Amos wouldnât have any relation to him, let alone any connection with his older brother or Hugo Clark.
And as for Henry Clark⦠If it were someone related to Henry Clark, the DNA match would not be so high.
Then Jack Amosâ¦
âAre you sure itâs just us three?â Kevin Clark counter-asked.
Elina Clark: ââ¦â¦ We are very sure that it is just the three of you!â
Kevin Clark furrowed his brow.
Seeing his reaction, Theo Clark had an idea: âBut⦠Edward North was at the borderâ¦â
Kevin Clark clenched his hand and said: âWe did not see the body.â
âBut the environment was extremely harsh on the snowy mountain, with almost no survival chances.â Theo Clark said.
The day Edward North left on his mission, the snow was unusually heavy, and the vast snowy plains were endless. It wouldnât take long to bury a person. Let alone a person who had been shot.
